I'm so glad you liked it Andrea. As I mentioned before, when I finished it I immediately wanted to read more books by the author, only to find that she had passed away prior to publication and hadn't written anything else. Such a shame! I've just read another book that I very much enjoyed - "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Luckily, this one has a sequel (or I believe prequel) called "Angel's Game" which I will track down.
